WYLD CANADA - V/A (UPDATED!)

WYLD CANADA120 Moosing Sixties Garage Ravers-cdr2005 (BossHoss)

Re-Up!

Hey kids! How many times has this happened to you: you find yourself replaying your copy of Nuggets for the umpteenth time and thinking, “Gosh, I sure wish someone would put together another kick-ass compilation like this, but this time featuring Canadian bands”. Well, those days are over, my friends. Feast your ears on Wyld Canada..." - bmarkey

Posted With all due respect, thanks, and a tip o' the cap to BossHoss.

"I made this compilation after viewing your 4-volume set on your site O Canadarm! (these songs are not on the 4 volumes you have)... I also made a home made cover which I'll send as well... anyway, I hope you can use this...Let me know if you like it please." - Jim

WYLD CANADA Vol. 5 - Killer Slabs of Canadian '60s Rock!!!

Twenty-eight tracks of tripped-out psychpop, with some fast'n'noisy tunes tossed into the mix. Kind of a Boulders thang, Canuck-style.

I'm still downloading the stuff and haven't listened to it yet. But it seems like a job well done. I know about half of the bands. Some of them are quite well known. I'm pretty sure the some bands like The Guess Who, The Collectors & The Ugly Ducklings get some airplay not only on Canadian oldies radio stations but on any oldies radio around the world. But I never listen to the radio. American Woman by The Collectors is a huge classic and has been covered many times. A cover version by Lenny Kravitz was featured on the film American Beauty...

Tremendous posting. Thank you. As a ex-pat Canadian, this brings back many great memories. Couple of requests- do you have '63 Monroe's "Stinkin' Out The Joint"? Also, any live Sloan would be great. Thanks again,Scott

A tip of my touque to the ole Boss Hoss for this fantastic collection, and of course thanks to you for a great blog. I've been a Can Con Collector for many many moons & have a continuing series of Canadian goodies called "Great White North" that I have spread around the web for a few years now, if you know where to look you can find them. I'm up to Vol 50 at the moment with lots more in the can. Again a big thanks for yours & all the other's who feature Canadian Sounds on their blogs.

I wish I could find those Great White North compilations Vinyl Junkie...(I'm the guy who made Wyld Canada that is posted here) Could you help me find any if not all of the volumes? I have a podcast show(Jim's Child Of The '60s) and use Canadian '60s artists all the time..I would appreciate it

HEY, THANKS! I'm really looking forward to this. I made my own Canadian garage comp a couple of years ago, from Tokensurfer's YouTube posts, called Wild Canada! Great minds work in concert, I guess. Hopefully your sound quality is an improvement over YT's? I think you've got most of what I chose, with the exception of Underworld's unreleased follow-up to Go Away, The Strange Experiment of Dr. Jarrod, which I can post if anybody's interested. Somebody here might also like my one-disc best (worst?) of from the Prae-Kraut series, posted (under reservatory) @ Lucky Psychic Hut. THANKS AGAIN!
